How to integrate Estimote Beacon with Appy Pie App?

Step 1: Modify UUID, Major, and Minor values

Every Estimote Beacon ships with an unique ID that you are free to modify. By default, the beacon’s ID is in iBeacon format and consists of three values: UUID, Major and Minor. Beacons broadcast their iBeacon ID, which can then be recognized by mobile apps to trigger specific actions. UUID is fixed, Major and Minor are randomized.

Default UUID: B9407F30-F5F8-466E-AFF9-25556B57FE6D

It's also possible to switch between iBeacon and Eddystone formats. When using Eddystone, a beacon is no longer broadcasting UUID, Major, and Minor values. They’re replaced either with Eddystone-UID (consisting of Namespace and Instance values) or Eddystone-URL (consisting of a URL address).

In the case of UUID, you can either manually input a new value or generate it through Estimote Cloud. Remember that if someone else has already claimed a specific UUID for their beacons, our collision detection system will prevent anyone else from using the same one. We explain it in more detail in the Can I claim a UUID for myself? article.
